Titles should also be written in '''sentence case''', where only the first word is capitalized. This is because MediaWiki automatically capitalizes the first letter of links. Therefore, when trying to insert links into sentences, it is far easier if the page title in question is in sentence case. For example, if the page on helve hammers was titled <code><nowiki>Helve hammer</nowiki></code>: | |||
: <code><nowiki>One example of a mechanism is the [[helve hammer]].</nowiki></code> | |||
But if the page was titled <code><nowiki>Helve Hammer</nowiki></code>: | |||
: <code><nowiki>One example of a mechanism is the [[Helve Hammer|helve hammer]].</nowiki></code> | |||
This greatly simplifies adding links and avoids incorrect capitalization. | |||
